Glasgow SE Foodbank project manager Audrey Flannagan attended the event to provide a personal account of what she deals with day-to-day, and the evening was brought to a close with a group discussion.

Karen added: "We've been doing this for five years but we were still taken by surprise, it was the busiest screening we've ever seen and the amount of donations we collected was just amazing.

"We wanted to raise awareness about the work that foodbanks do, at the same time as start a conversation about how wrong it is that people have to rely on them, and what we can all do to try and do something to help.

"People are being worn down by sanctions, poverty and the system and it's not right."

A second screening of I, Daniel Blake will take place at the Glad Cafe on Pollokshaws Road tonight at 8pm.

Anyone who attends is asked to bring along a donation of tinned food or cash.

Entry to the event is first come, first serve so arrive early to avoid dissapointment.

The Southside Film Festival was launched five years ago to bring the local community and public access to a diverse and eclectic programme of international, national and local films of all genres and lengths and promote and celebrate cultural and social diversity.
